I don't think you have a clue what a true Republican looks like. If you think its's someone who supports Trump you're wrong.

I do not believe that all those judges are in Trump's pocket. You saw Gorsuch rule against him on the transgender case, Kavanaugh rule against him on the case about being immune from prosecution.

From the CDC (and you can also look at Mayo Clinic and any other reputable medical source): The virus that causes COVID-19 most commonly spreads between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet, or 2 arm lengths). It spreads through respiratory droplets or small particles, such as those in aerosols, produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, sings, talks, or breathes. These particles can be inhaled into the nose, mouth, airways, and lungs and cause infection. This is thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Droplets can also land on surfaces and objects and be transferred by touch. A person may get COVID-19 by touching the surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes. Spread from touching surfaces is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. It is possible that COVID-19 may spread through the droplets and airborne particles that are formed when a person who has COVID-19 coughs, sneezes, sings, talks, or breathes. There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants, or in fitness classes). In general, indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk. COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in the community (“community spread”) in many affected geographic areas. Community spread means people have been infected with the virus in an area, including some who are not sure how or where they became infected.

again, I do not see Roberts wanting to destroy the history of the Roberts court.

It will still come down to courts if that happened and I don’t see either state or federal courts acquiescing to an election being stolen. I hope you are as well.

Hardcore Trumpers are maybe 29% of the electorate. They are not taking over the country as the AOC wing will never take over the party. The Trump legacy will hopefully be that the majority of the country that are middle right or left will demand change.

I suspect McD will take over some of the defensive calls soon.

I don't think so. I think you'll see true republicans like Romney take the party back. At least I hope so; having a Republican party that would go back to its roots as a party of true conservatism rather than the charade we see now would be good for the country.

They absolutely do, there are any number of scientific articles that say so, and denying it is ridiculous. And to be clear, what masks do is help mitigate (not completely stop) the spread of droplet and aerosols which are the main routes of viral transmission. The virus is not shed as free virus.

I would say no. My guess is that the Senate will turn Democrat after the election, and if lame duck Republicans try to force this then Republicans will destroy their party for the foreseeable future. The legal wrangling will be potentially crazy on both sides, but if Biden wins, say, Florida, on election night then any chance Trump wins is lost, and I think Republicans would go into self-survival mode. I also don't think the Supreme court will look upon this favorably. Roberts is very cognizant of his place in history; he will not want the Roberts Court to be seen as giving an election to one who has not won it.

The Constitution says the duly elected President is inaugurated on January 20th. If that's Biden them Trump will be leaving the White House one way or the other. I suspect all Republicans will support that, or else they'll lose their party for decades.

Viruses require a host to propagate. If you and I each wear a mask then I have more trouble passing the virus to you and vice versa. Thus you limit the ability of virus to find a host and the infection rate dies out. We need to slow down the spread as much as possible until we get a vaccine that will hopefully immunize against Covid (although just this week two candidate vaccines had to be halted in trials so I'm starting to wonder if we'll get one) or until we have more effective treatment strategies (such as with HIV). When people talk about getting back to normal, much of what we did before Covid can be done now if we all wear masks and distance. For example, I go to church every week again. The businesses really getting killed are the bar/restaurant and theater industries. My daughter is a performer and opportunities like theater shows, cruise ships, etc. are gone so I get it. You want the spread to stop, as in no more Covid. So do I. That's not happening anytime soon. So we have to do our best to slow it down as much as possible.

I just looked up some data. California's rate of infection per 100k for the past week is the 6th lowest in the country. You may want to check that data yourself. Masks, and distancing work. Handwashing work. None by themselves are perfect and none by themselves stop the spread, but together they greatly minimize spread. Every public health professional, every epidemiologist, will tell you this. The data is irrefutable, and you are just simply wrong and being pig headed about it for some stupid political reason. You post drivel from a right wing talk fest. The data on scientific studies on passage of droplets and such through masks are irrefutable.

The data is irrefutable as I said. I am willing to bet not everyone is wearing masks and social distancing in California as you suggest.

And they shouldn't.

Assuming he loses, if he tries to stay in the White House on January 20th he'll be removed by either the Secret Service or FBI. Physically if need be.

I don't care who is on the field, you can't give up 20 yards on a 3rd and 19.

Tough game for him last night. Tough game for a lot of Bills last night.

Masks help prevent spread. We can all go about our business if we would all just wear them, and it would deprive the virus of hosts and thus bring the pandemic under control much quicker. The science on this is irrefutable.

The date for the election and the date for inauguration are in the Constitution

There's no reason not to. Just wear a mask while doing so. Higher death rate than other Scandinavian countries. Plus their citizens voluntarily take things like distancing seriously, unlike our country.

Let me ask you this. It seems you want them to be 9-7. Why?

Yes, I read your take and I disagree. We did not play well yesterday, but we were on fire the other 4 games. Unfortunately, you choose to focus on yesterday's game in which we were missing a key weapon in Brown, and missing our best two players on defense, and then take the sky is falling approach. The Chiefs looked terrible against the Raiders Sunday. Do you also think the Chiefs are going to have a problem now - are they a 9-7 team? I'm going to go out on a limb and say your answer is no. I have watched the Bills since their inception, and it never ceases to amaze me how pessimistic fans get about their team. Yes, they have some things to figure out after yesterday, namely why they are having trouble defending the middle of the filed on pass plays. Whether they need to change scheme, personnel or what I'm not sure, but we have seen them have tough games on D under McD's tenure and he has figured out ways to stem the tide. I am not worried about our offense at all; Josh has thrown really one bad pass all year, the pick in the second half yesterday. I think we'll get Tre and Milano back, probably make some other personnel adjustments (I'd bring Zimmer back onto the D line and I'd give Neal a shot instead of Johnson). make some scheme adjustments (defensive ends- set the edge!!!) and we should be OK.

Yeah, the defense missed Tre and Milano. But they have to defend the middle of the field better. I was glad that Henry didn't go nuts, but that's more because they (and other teams) have seen they can throw against us.

He literally has said he would rather see the Bills lose as long as the game is "exciting" which he defines as more than 300 yards passing. It's pathetic.
